Digital data distributor aviowiki has seen strong demand for its products over the past few years as many aircraft operators faced staff shortages and disruptions due to the pandemic and other industry-altering events. The company (Booth E57) has experienced a more than 20 percent growth in revenue so far this year from its 2021 totals and has doubled its staff to meet the surge.

The company ascribes this uptick to a positive indication of the industry recovery and the need for more automation. Among those areas are system-to-system integrations in charter sales, pricing and quoting; FBO management; flight scheduling; and passenger data exchange.

“Managing and keeping current the data for the entire industry is no simple task,” explained company founder and CEO Diego Magrini. “Long gone are the days when a quarterly-updated spreadsheet did the trick. We are entering a much more demanding phase where digitization as the precursor of automation needs to happen fast.”

In an effort to foster more integration and improve industry standardization, aviowiki has also released a free database on its website that contains more than 60,000 airports and landing locations worldwide.

“We believe that certain pieces of information should just be public knowledge,” said Magrini. “Although we take pride in accurately collecting, carefully curating, precisely storing, and easily serving them, we still want to make such information available to the larger public for free.”
